A Sydney University student has been forced to live off $20 a week after the government's financial Covid benefits left him with very little support. The 19-year-old, whose identity has been withheld for privacy reasons, moved out of his parents house in February this year after landing a spot in the university's Bachelor of Health Science degree. He moved into a shared flat in the inner-city suburb of Rozelle and got two jobs, one as a waiter and the other as a bartender to support himself.
